This Is Knit: Knitted Pants’ Rise To Glory

If there’s one thing we never thought would become fashionable, it’s knit. Traditionally, the fabric has been reserved for lumpy sweaters woven by your sweet grandmother and that half-assed attempt at a scarf you made that one time you took up yarning. But the day none of us could have predicted is finally here: knit is in.

If you’re still skeptical, read on as we break down all the chic styles of knit pants—by the end, you’ll be ready to come join us as a diehard member of the Knit Appreciation Society.

Ponte Pants

The new craze around these pants is on ponte. Ponte pants are a pant-legging hybrid manufactured out of a mix between rayon, polyester and spandex. They’re woven so tightly together in a double-knit process that the pants are able to hold their unique shape. If you’ve been searching for a healthy balance between casual leggings and stiff trousers, then look no further than ponte pants.

Sweatpants

Ultimately, there’s nothing more comfy than a pair of knitted sweatpants. And if you’re cool enough, you can rock them in an athleisure look that’s bound to have heads turning. Pair your new purchase with a crop top, leather jacket and white sneakers.  You’ll have the ideal ensemble for those sporty chic kinds of days.

Flared Pants

Knitted and flared? You’ve got to be daring to try this one. And it’s a good thing you’re always up for an adventure. We know you have a  bold enough personality to pull this off, so why not believe in yourself just as much? Pluck up the courage to rock a pair of wide-legged knit pants with a fringe bag for a retro, ‘70s-inspired look that you know no one else is going to have thought of.

Now that we have you thoroughly convinced that the aversion surrounding knit is a thing of the past, rock your new pair of knitted pants knowing that you’re looking as trendy as can be.
